Crooked Legs Made Strai ut.
From the Chicago Mai


'If YOU won't use my name or that of
the people | will introduce you to" said one
of those fellows who always have some
thing to spring, 81 will take you to place
where a new cure is offered" And we
logged along to a frame house over on
Green street. south of Madison and went
in. A man who looked like a Dunkard
came in response to the card that had been
sent up, and it was soon told that his
business was that of curing bow-legs
When he learned that neither of Ills
callers had any such deformity he shut up
like clam, at least so for as the nature
of his cure was concerned. But he con
fessed that he had many patients. MY
wife, he said, "attends Co the ladies, and
she mas several patients. One is a pronl-
nent society lady, who was disciple of the
Delsarte school, and when her instructress
failed to make her proficient in walking or
sitting the poor woman, who is very ambi-
tious, wept and confessed she was bow-leg-
ged. She heard of my wife and our plans
and is now patient here. Do we always

bow-legs the same rs stubborn dis
eases. We have n good many young la

been gathered up little, he suddenly asked,

reason.
II did not have to quit" he said; 'just

equally true that 80 per cent. of such aban
doued habits come through necessity"
"Bosh! Why, there's Jim A, who used
to eat tobacco like bread; George B., who
always put his fine-cut box under his pillow
so as to have it handy and not lose any time
in the morning; John D., who smoked fif-
teen cigars a day and chewed l0c. plug of

George B. just before he quit. He had be-

couldn't wear suspenders. He quit then.

looked into every detail of the disaster,
Capt. Selfridge, who commanded the Oms-

gross violation of international law, the
loss of life the suffering of the wounded.
and the outrage upon an unoffendng and
friendly people.
While the proceedings of the court and its
findings have not been made public, the
evidence shows that Capt. Selfridge did not
take the necessary and proper precautions
TO see that it would be dangerous To fire
when the Omaha did that he appeared not
to have determined to fire at this place until
about opposite the cliff, and then proceeded
at once TO target practice: that the people

stated by Capt Selfridge in his report that

From the testimony of the natives it was
proven that many pices of shell fell into the

SOCIETY OF ST. MICHAEL.
Imposing Services in the Church at
Chicago.


Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept. "A huge triumphal arch
of flowers, surmounted by crown with the
plain figures of cross, was the centre of a
throng of thousands this morning at the
entrance to st. Michaels Hall on North
avenue The buildings surrounding
were so decked with garlan0S
and streamerS as TO he ma
from view. Inside st. Michael's the deco
ratiops were equally profuse, the most con-
spicuous objects being three portraits in
front of the stage, representing Pope Leo,
President Cleveland and Archbishop Fee
Ian The proceedings begun with an adj
dress of welcome by Mayor Roche to the 300
delegates present. He predicted for the
organization an honored place in the history
of the country for its great work of benevo-
lence and charity President SpaunhorSt,
of St Louis, replied, thanking the Mayor
and abiding TO the steady growth of the
society, already one of the most powerful
benevolent societies in the United States.
He dwelt upon the objects of the society
benevolence aud charity-and then, doubt
less referring to the rumors of antagonlsm
between the Irish Catholics and their Ger
man co-religionists, said: 1--WE are
not here for any purpose but TO consult
upon the best means by which
the most good can be done
to the members to promote their
interests and the interests of those depend
ing upon them. Our purpose is not and
never has been national rivalry or strife.
Therefore, all illusions, sometimes harshly
made, about fight between those of differ
emit nationalities, but of the same faith. are
ridiculous and out of the question for dis
cussion in any of the meetings to be held here
this week. Questions of discipline and or
der in our church are not submitted TO
societies of lsymen for their discussion.
Such matters are regulated by those in
authority, and, if occasion requires. may
be finally settled by the Propaganda"
The delegates then proceed to st. Michaels
church, which was already crowded almost
TO suffocation. The interior of the church
was gorgeously decorated with drapery and
flowers, the affairs especially being nearly
invisible in a wreath oil blossoms and wav-
ing leaves. Hundreds of candles shed
bright light over all and
surrounded with circle of fire
